If you missed the Kickstarter campaign for the PRINCESS WHO SAVED HER FRIENDS children’s book, have no fear! You can now pre-order the book at Backerkit!

The book is written by Greg Pak and Jonathan Coulton with art by Takeshi Miyazawa, colors by Jessica Kholinne, and letters by Simon Bowland.

The original PRINCESS WHO SAVED HERSELF book celebrated a scrappy kid who stuck up for herself but was always able to open the circle and find reconciliation with the monsters and witch she came into conflict with. We absolutely love that story of determination, bravery, and understanding.

But what happens next, when our heroine discovers that the witch she befriended miiiiight not be such a great friend after all?

THE PRINCESS WHO SAVED HER FRIENDS tackles the kind of tricky personal conflict that kids — and adults — grapple with every day in the real world.

I wrote the Namor story, a bit of historical fiction taking place at the end of World War II. Tomm Coker provided beautiful line art — see below for a couple of pages and ask your local comic shop to hold a copy for you!

My good buddy Johnny C has launched a new Kickstarter for SOME GUYS, an album of gorgeous covers of ’70s soft rock classics. It’s ridiculous and awesome and as a guy who knows a guy, I’ve been listening to the actual album almost non-stop for the past 48 hours. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

The book continues the adventures of the band of outlaws and outsiders who starred in Joss Whedon’s beloved FIREFLY television show and SERENITY movie, and is written by yours truly with art by Dan McDaid, colors by Marcelo Costa, letters by Jim Campbell, and editing by Jeanine Schaefer and Gavin Gronenthal.

I’m hugely biased, of course, but I think the book is terrific and if you like space cowboys, fun worldbuilding, and/or stories about a found family of outsiders driving each other crazy while grappling with the wounds of war, this book is for you!

Keep scrolling for a lettered preview of the first few pages of the book, and ask your local comics shop to hold a copy for you today!

So this is it, friends! The last 24 hours of the Kickstarter campaign for THE PRINCESS WHO SAVED HER FRIENDS children’s book! It’s been an incredible ride. We’re currently at $88,000, more than double our initial ask and just $12,000 from a stretch goal that will unlock 10″ x 13″ mini-posters for every backer who orders a physical reward.

THE PRINCESS WHO SAVED HER FRIENDS tells the story of our heroine, Gloria Cheng Epstein Takahara de la Garza Champion, as she grapples with the fact that her new friend, the wicked Queen, is still kind of mean! What do you do when one of your friends treats your other friends badly? Well, read this book and find out how one awesome girl handles things!

This is the kind of big, fun, but emotionally honest children’s book I’ve always loved, and artist Takeshi Miyazawa and colorist Jessica Kholinne are doing spectacular work bringing it to life. Check out this gorgeous new page that’s just come in:
